Vancouver, BC based Endeavor Snowboards is one cool company. Feature in last year’s Buyer’s Guide, Endeavor Snowboards (Archetype Labs) is owned and operated by Max Jenke and isn’t just a snowboard factory but a purpose-built lab dedicated to Research and Development.

Just 15 minutes from Grouse, Seymour and Cypress, Endeavor’s location is one of the most ideal in the world for fine tuning shred sticks. Plus, it’s just a quick 90 minute drive to Whistler. Bonus!

So why does all this matter? Jenke is one of nine finalists up for the 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award in which one winner will take home $100,000. Yes, you read that correctly, 100K! So as a fellow snowboarder you should head over to read what Max plans to do with this new influx of cash (Hint: Bring us American’s top of the line, kick-ass snowboards). Then give him a vote.
